Refurbished Tech Buyers Guide

As New Zealand’s experts in quality refurbished technology, we want to help you cut through the jargon. When operating on a strict budget, focus on quality and essential hardware components to maximize speed and durability.

HungryPC Certified Renewed โœ…

Quality, working devices sourced typically at the end of business leases from managed environments. Rather than salvaging faulty devices for refurbishment, we focus on renewing high grade devices through comprehensive cleaning, 48 Hour QA testing and upgrading to give these devices a true new lease on life. Youโ€™ll benefit from superior longevity and performance than that of most other used devices.

Other Pre-Owned or “Refurbished” ๐Ÿค”

Generally refers to a product that was previously owned and operated, then resold second-hand. There is no guarantee a used device was ever serviced, inspected or tested internally, or that all of it’s functions are working optimally as there are no official standards for refurbishment. Often lacking any future-proofing due to lower specs, or unseen issues such as dust and debris blocking cooling systems.

Other Ex-Lease or Off Lease ๐Ÿข

These devices typically were used by a corporate business customer for 3-5 years and then returned at the end of their lease period for replacement with newer models, as businesses are on a routine replacement cycle for their IT Assets. Often these devices are resold ‘raw’ or as-is for enthusiasts or technicians to refurbish, test and upgrade as they see fit.

In the world of ex-lease and refurbished machines, especially running Windows 11, the processor’s generation matters. Windows 11 requires at least 8th Generation to be fully compatible.

Business Grade Advantage: Our refurbished stock is usually comprised of business-grade units (Dell OptiPlex, Latitude, HP EliteDesk, ProBook, Lenovo ThinlCenter, ThinkPad). These models are built with far superior internal components and chassis materials than standard consumer devices, offering unparalleled durability.

Focus on Modern Models: Look for Intel processors that are 8th Generation or newer (e.g. Intel Core i5 8250u). These generations often include better integrated graphics and power management, which significantly boost everyday performance.

Random Access Memory (RAM) is where your computer stores information for current tasks (browsing, streaming, working on documents). If you run out of RAM, your computer can grind to a halt.

Multitasking Standard: For anything other than Chromebook’s 4GB of RAM will struggle with modern web browsing and running more than one application. Aim for 8GB to 16GB of RAM to ensure a smooth, frustration-free experience for studying, streaming, and essential work tasks.

Future-Proofing: While 16GB or more is ideal, an 8GB unit still provides sufficient headroom for current operating system requirements and general day-to-day usage. If you want a machine that is more future-proof or when opening multiple applications / browser tabs at the same time, consider a unit with at least 16GB RAM.

The single most critical factor for a fast and enjoyable user experience is the hard drive type. When shopping for a cheap computer, you must insist on a QUALITY Solid State Drive (SSD).

Our Recommendation: 128GB is really too small for most people, as Windows its self will take up a large majority of this. 256GB SSD is okay for basic use, especially if you don’t have a lot of Photos or Videos, and can make for a good low-cost option. If you want to store lots of data, especially Photos and Videos we recommend 512GB to 1TB. You can also always use external storage to offload any files you don’t frequently use to save some space and $$.

Speed Over Size: Even an older computer with a better quality, fast SSD will feel much smoother for daily tasks (booting up, opening browser tabs, loading apps) than a newer machine with a slower drive.

Durability: SSDs have no moving parts, making them far more reliable and resistant to drops or bumps. A significant advantage for travel and portability.

Quality: An over-used or low-quality SSD will be prone to very slow read and write speeds, or worse yet, complete failure. We only install drives from leading brands (not cheap imitations) which are then individually tested for health and performance to ensure better longevity, and value for money.

Confidence is key when investing your money in buying a laptop or PC. When you choose an affordable computer from Hungry PC, you are choosing guaranteed peace of mind, and unbeatable quality.

Proudly New Zealand Owned: You’re supporting a local, trusted Kiwi business that’s providing premium service since 2016. See what our customers say.

Multi-Point Quality Assurance: Every machine undergoes our industry-leading, rigorous internal checking process before it is ever listed for sale.

Common Laptop Questions Answered

At Hungry PC we source quality, ex-lease business grade tech, not just old e-waste! Every unit is individually tested and cleaned, inside and out, with worn components replaced or upgraded as necessary to bring these systems a new lease on life. Used tech devices require a high level of professional servicing to ensure longevity and give you the best value possible. Our expert technicians with over 15 years experience place an extensive QA process to ensure the physical hardware is operating effectively as close to new as it can be. Often due to our processes, the upgrades we fit to these desktop and tower PCs make them function better than when they were brand new.

Why risk the problems of a completely unknown condition, pre-owned device that has never been serviced? You get much better value, longevity and certainty from a properly refurbished device.

Not all refurbished tech is the same, experience our difference and see how we grade our systems here

Every laptop we stock has been restored, tested and renewed to A Grade quality before they are offered for sale (unless otherwise stated). Any faults or major cosmetic damages are listed and specifically noted on each product description where necessary, and are sold at a discounted rate as a lower grade option for those who wish to save some more money.

Yes! Your choice of Operating System version or distribution is installed fresh with latest Security Updates and Drivers. We can load Linux at no extra cost with your order! Simply select your preferred option from the Accessories / Upgrades section and we’ll ensure your machine is fully loaded with your ideal Operating System choice. Please note: This free service will add a little extra time to process your order. As Linux is a community supported operating system, driver/software support for Linux is at your own risk.

Yes! All our laptops are covered by an industry leading return-to-base hardware warranty. In the very rare instance there was a problem with your laptop, we’re here to help. Read Warranty details here.

Get discounted repairs for life! With our commitment to sustainability, we are the first in NZ to offer our repair discount program. Simply by purchasing your laptop from Hungry PC youโ€™ll be eligible to receive 50% off our labour charges for any servicing or repairs to this device for 2 Years. This program rewards our loyal customers the benefit of cheaper laptop repairs on any out of Warranty services required including accidental damage to the screen, etc. Extend your warranty with us and we increase this discount program for the usable lifetime of the device.

Each laptop comes with a used battery that will still hold a charge and has been tested to last at least one hour or more during full-load stress testing. The vast majority of our laptops offer a very reasonable battery life and under normal use they often will last significantly longer than when they are undergoing a full-load stress test.

Battery Health Definition

Tested OK / Fair – Battery holds a charge and passes our full-load stress test for at least one hour, likely to last longer but has not been tested any further.
Good – Will easily play a full HD YouTube or Netflix Movie at Normal Brightness for 2 hours or more. During less intensive tasks like Word Processing they are likely to last longer.
Excellent – Battery would typically last at least 3-4 hours of playing non-stop YouTube or Netflix movies back-to-back, and likely to last significantly longer during normal use such as web browsing.
Brand New – Battery has been replaced with a brand new one to offer its full capacity.

Due to their nature, battery life varies significantly between each unit we have in stock. We also test each laptop to perform flawlessly when connected to the power. Laptops do not require the battery to be charged whilst plugged in to the charger and can be used all day while plugged in.

The power is in your hands! Choose to save money with the used battery, or if a longer battery life is required, we can supply a new battery replacement with free installation. Since used batteries are a consumable like printer ink or car tires, they are not covered by warranty. If you do require an extra long battery life, simply add the new battery option with your purchase.

Beware of the “Battery Health Percentage” Myth. With years of experience in the industry, we’ve seen countless laptops with dead batteries that report an 80% health rating (or even more) via software tools. This is often a very unreliable way of testing a battery and during our customized testing procedure, they often won’t even last ten minutes, fail our tests, and are then replaced. While others rely solely on this health rating to sell you a laptop, we instead decided to create this far more accurate test, so our customers can get a much better understanding of the battery condition and make an informed decision.

These machines have conquered the corporate world and are now set to elevate your tech with the best value and performance. Designed to meet the discerning needs of businesses, our ex-lease laptops have traversed corporate landscapes and are now ready to redefine your computing journey.

Just as businesses demand top-tier reliability, weโ€™ve given these laptops a comprehensive overhaul. Every unit is meticulously examined and rigorously tested in our workshop, resulting in an impressively low failure rate. These laptops arenโ€™t just dependable, with our upgrades and fresh configuration they are designed to outshine their original form.

Looking for exceptional value without compromising on quality? Our refurbished laptops offer the best of both worlds. By purchasing from us, youโ€™re not only acquiring a high-caliber device but also contributing to a more sustainable future. A smart choice for your pocket and the planet!

Since buying a Refurbished Laptop can save you a lot of money and provide excellent performance, we feel they are a great idea not only for your bank balance, but also for the environment. By reducing ewaste and keeping these devices from landfill, we repurpose and renew them, to ensure they can bring a great deal of enjoyment to someone who is looking for a machine that can fit into any budget.

We strive to source the highest quality, business grade, ex-lease laptops. Instead of selling ordinary consumer grade equipment, we focus on machines that are designed for the corporate world. These laptops have higher build quality, more reliable parts, and typically more powerful specifications. After our extensive testing process, we can be sure the laptop will last the test of time. We have had many customers return to us and buy computers years after their first purchase, as they were impressed with the reliability and want to upgrade to their next, newer, fancier and faster machine.

Our online shop is open 24/7 for you to buy any products listed on our site. All orders are processed and shipped daily from our Hamilton warehouse Monday to Friday (excluding some holiday periods).
